Founded in 2013 by former Dell employees, Noobaa develops software for managing data storage services across hybrid and multicloud environments. The company offers a data platform that serves as an abstraction layer over existing storage infrastructure, enabling intercloud data portability and allowing users to manage data stored in multiple locations as a single, coherent data set. The company previously raised $5 million from investors including Jerusalem Venture Partners (JVP), Jerusalem-based equity crowdfunding company OurCrowd Ltd., and Hawaii-based AKAMAI Capital.
